I'mBack, but since I was never at this board, doubt anyone missed me..

Well, I sorta dropped off the face of the earth for a bit, but, I realise, I need my OH family so, after a few years, I am back and ready to jump right in again.. I had RNY in 03, lost 161lbs, still would like/need to lose more, but I am comfortable with who and what I am.  I am a single mom of three, one boy he's 10 and two little girls, one Die Hard DIVA and one Precious Poster Child for RELAXED

Welcome back! I am Robin Brown and I am waiting for insurance approval right now.  Robin

Howdy doo!! I had my surgery April 05 and have lost my 100 pounds and just had surgery again last Thur to move around some kinky intestines and cut off some scar tissue!! OUCH!! Bouncing back is slower this time.. I think she also took a tuck in my tummy... for some reason I just cant eat like I did pre surgery.. But after 2 years... thats a good thing!! I am a happy mother of 2 and grand mother of 1 5 year old, 3, 3year olds and a 8 moth old.. With the grandkids... life doesnt get boreing!!! Linda Kay
